- Lot Description
Classical World, Italy, Etruria, ca. early 6th century BCE. A wonderful wheel-thrown pottery amphora with a petite circular base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a conical neck with a flared rim, and a pair of applied strap handles joining rim to shoulder. The highly-burnished vessel boasts a register of incised linear striations which mimic a horizontal ladder, and the entire vessel is enveloped in a lustrous jet-black glaze. Bucchero is a specifically-Etruscan style for firing pottery which, given the oxygen-deprived environment within the kiln, results in a smooth, shiny finish. This type of vessel may have been buried with offerings in the tomb of a recently-deceased individual, as was the case for much fine Etruscan pottery. Size: 5.25" W x 6.625" H (13.3 cm x 16.8 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example of a miniature size, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 41.162.251: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/254422
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Frances Artuner collection, Belgium, acquired in the 1960s
